I heard a cracker of an idea for the use of a thermos on the weekend. The chap told me he puts 2 or 3 hot dogs into a thermos and pours boiling water to fill. A few hot dog buns, tomato sauce and he has a track side gift from Allah.

The lateral genius of some people never cease to amaze me. I've dusted off the thermos ready for the next 4wd day.

Nothing like a few artery cloggers for lunch.

Here I was thinking that it was an old trick. I remember picnics with my grandparents when I was young and we did that! A good idea either way.

Hot dogs aren't gourmet enough for me these days. I think I'm getting snobby with food. ;)

Anything you can do in a dream pot, you can do in a wide-enough mouthed vacuum flask!

Before we got married, the gf would do things like stuffed capsicums, egg & bacon pie etc for camping. after we got married, no more camping & sell the mini moke,:mad:

Anyhow, I think I would like in my thermos slices of rare eye fillet, soaking in my favorite gravy, based on jw bl & premium port. :)

When I was a kid at school, 40 years ago (GULP!!) I used to take a wide mouth thermos with sausages in it. Mum would cut them into pieces about 3" long and I would lay four of them on a piece of bread, fold it in half and eat my hot sausage sandwich for lunch.:D

Dim Sims!

Make sure to sit boiling water in the thermos for 10mins to warm it up. Steam your dimmies, place them in a freezer bag with soy sauce. Empty thermos of the boiling water, and put the bag of dimmies in.

does the residual heat without a bath of hot water keep them hot to lunch?
